Some teenagers go way over the line on Facebook threatening other kids. It’s no wonder people feel the need to homeschool. Facebook should monitor these threats.

In Stalinist Russia and Mao's China, you could move ahead by keeping an eye on friends and neighbors and reporting people who misbehaved to the authorities.
We are not the land of the free anymore. And the fact that we sit back and take it, tells me that we are not the home of the brave either.

How does Facebook monitor such threats without monitoring all communication?
To: surfer
Well the schools, teacher, principals are definitely going to be needing more money if we expect them to spy on the kids 24/7. Be prepared for some new funding mandate!

Not the government.

When will the government install TV monitors in every room of your house? Things seem to be heading that way!

F***ING
KIDDING
ME
Every time I hear about a new initiative, it is always utterly totalitarian, oppressive, jackboot-trampling-face stuff, these days.
Within months, the effort will be underway to monitor and punish incorrect thoughts online for ALL drones (aka citizens).
"...Following the discovery of “harassment,” officials may have to require mandatory training of students and their families"
Hey 'officials': Come to MY house, and I will teach you why you might not want to try to bully ME....so pack a lunch and make sure your policies are paid up.

Is the Plan becoming clearer to you now?
Be prepared because there isn't a single aspect of any federal law, rule, regulation, impact or funding tie that isn't already in the cue for implementation...health care, food “safety, land use, bullying, civil “rights” i.e. gay marriage, etc. etc.
You have only seen a precursor of much much to follow (it's in the works)....
Released lockstep over the next two years and most likely six.
